South West Mull Makers

South West Mull Makers is a vibrant collective of local artists and crafters who have established a beautiful art gallery and shop in the Columba Centre in Fionnphort, on the Isle of Mull. Formed in 2018, this initiative provides a dedicated space for the wealth of creative talent residing in the south-west region of the island. It’s a key destination for visitors seeking authentic, handmade gifts and unique artworks.

The gallery and shop showcase a wide array of arts and crafts, including original paintings, prints, sculptures, wall-hangings, woven baskets, greeting cards, textile art, jewellery, and wood-turned items. Much of the work is inspired by the stunning natural environment and rich cultural heritage of Mull and Iona. The collective also supports other local guest makers and occasionally hosts workshops and exhibitions, particularly during the quieter winter months.

South West Mull Makers plays a vital role in supporting the local economy and fostering the artistic community on Mull. By providing a direct retail outlet, it allows visitors to connect with and purchase high-quality, handcrafted items directly from the creators. This collaborative venture enhances Fionnphort’s appeal, offering a genuine taste of island creativity and community spirit.
